30 photos of perfectly timed moments

A statue of someone trying to grab a plane probably isn’t your typical cheery postcard material, ya know? It’s not exactly the ‘welcome to our city’ vibe most places are going for. Next time you’re hopping on a United flight, maybe double-check if you have “statue-comes-to-life” insurance. If it exists, there’s gotta be a reason, right?

I stumbled across this wild statue when I was visiting Chicago once. It was like, this huge figure trying to snag the tail of an airplane, totally catching people off guard and cracking them up. Chicago’s got its share of cool art and touristy stuff, but this thing was definitely out there.
